As "w00w00" so elequently put it, the affected versions of hybrid vulnerable to this exploit were up to beta 58 only. The hybrid 6 betas have not been released to the public, and considering that beta 96 was posted to developers yesterday, nobody should be affected by a beta 58 exploit. ircd-hybrid is only one of the ircds used on the EFNet, and i believe the only versions of hybrid6 that are currently approved for efnet use are betas 73 - 83. It's beta people - this doesn't affect anybody - don't get your compilers roaring thinking you're gonna "Fine-tune until you have root" anytime soon :-) Adam Herscher (Xref) Oper - EFNet - irc.inter.net.il ----- Original Message ----- From: Shok <shokat_private> To: <BUGTRAQat_private> Sent: Friday, August 13, 1999 12:01 AM Subject: w00w00's efnet ircd advisory (exploit included) > [http://www.w00w00.org, comments to shokat_private] > > SUMMARY > efnet ircd hybrid-6 (up to beta 58) have a vulnerability that can allow > remote access to the irc server.
